South Yorkshire Police
The complainant requested information relating to the child grooming scandal in Rotherham, including details of payments made to the victims. South Yorkshire Police provided some information within the scope of the request but refused to provide the remainder, citing sections 38(1) (health and safety) and 40(2) (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner has investigated South Yorkshire Police’s application of section 38(1) to the requested information relating to payments made to victims. The Commissioner’s decision is that South Yorkshire Police was entitled to rely on section 38(1)(a) in relation to that information. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.FOI 38: Complaint not upheld
